Goodbye Carlo!

This is the classic Purefoods Tenderjuicy Hotdog commercial. Carlo is supposed to be Patrick Garcia but as you will notice, he cannot be seen anywhere in this clip.



* The girl, Chantal Umali, later on starred as Happy in TGIS the second batch.

Zig-a-Zig Ahh...the Spice Girls!


Are you:

Ginger,
Posh,
Scary,
Sporty, or
Baby?

Well, well, well. If you are a child of the 90s, then you most likely know who I'm talking about. Yeba! It's the Spice Girls!

When these girls released their debut single "Wannabe" in 1996, they became an instant hit. In fact, they even beat many of the Beatles all-time high records.
Oh... Everybody just loved Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton. News about Geri leaving her group was the regal shocker of 1998. Geri was the soul of the group. Rumor says that Geri left because of her worsening relationship with Victoria and Mel C. But what's worse is that her departure did not give Spice Girls the same fame and attention that they used to get. Eventually, the group disbanded, making the Spice Girls phenomenon short-lived.

But it has just been re-lived. Yeah, yeah, yeah! Watch out for the upcoming Spice Girls World Tour. It starts at Vancouver on December 7 this year. Ayy... It was such a moment to see all 5 of them re-united. Aww...

Anyway, here are some of my favorite Spice Girls memories:
  1. "GIRL POWER"
  2. Platform shoes worn by Geri, Emma and Mel C
  3. Scary Spice's animal print wardrobe
  4. Geri's Union Jack outfit (which set a Guinness World Record for being the most expensive piece of clothing auctioned)
  5. the Posh Walk
  6. people debating if Posh is gay or not (coz she looked like one in the "Who do you think you are" video
  7. Spice World (yeah, cute movie)
  8. Spice Girls merchandise
  9. grade school girls making a fuss about the 2 Become 1 lyrics (Be a little bit "safer" baby...)
  10. the Stop (right now thank you very much) dance move
  11. the Mama video with the girls' moms
  12. the tutubi video called Viva Forever
  13. the classic, black and white video of Too Much (i just loved Geri)

How about you guys, what's your favorite Spice Girl memory?
